Abstract

The disclosure provides cartridges that are pre-loaded with reagents for performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and FISH testing. Cartridges of the disclosure include various incubation wells loaded with different antimicrobial agents for differential growth analysis. Imaging wells with species-specific microbial probes, fluorescent tags, magnetic particles and dye-cushion layers allow for tagging and imaging of target microbes for differential growth analysis.
